Reap what you sow

The Sun forms its final square to Jupiter in Cancer on April 1. This is when you will see if risks taken last fall (on Oct. 12, to be precise) will pan out or not.

The idea is that you won't get anywhere interesting in life by playing it safe or sticking to the tried-and-true. Jupiter's motto is "nothing ventured, nothing gained," and this week, you will reap the rewards of that venture. If your efforts were measured, then you will see half-baked results — but if you gave something your best shot, then you will be rewarded tenfold. Jupiter favors those who to take running leaps of faith.

Expect to field curveballs on April 1 and 2. This is when radical factors will be thrown at you from out of nowhere. Now your first reaction may be to duck, but try working with them instead. You have a playful mind, and these unforeseen developments may be exactly what you need to help breathe new life into your formula for success — which has grown too formulaic lately. A sensational trine between Mercury and Saturn on Wednesday will help you to recognize the opportunity in the crisis and turn a crazy idea into a groundbreaking enterprise.
